This beautiful vintage poster from the 1954 Holland Festival exudes the charm of a pivotal cultural event in mid-century Netherlands. Designed by Dick Elffers and printed by Steendrukkerij De Jong & Co in Hilversum, it features a graceful woman playing the flute, framed by a playful color palette and a timeless 1950s aesthetic.

The poster references festival locations at Emmaplein in Amsterdam and Gevers Deynootplein 30 in Scheveningen, where the Holland Festival took place from June 15 to July 15, 1954. An annual celebration of music, dance, theater, and art, the Holland Festival transformed these summer months into a hub of cultural richness—a spirit perfectly captured by this striking design.

A rare piece of Dutch graphic heritage, it stands not only as a work of art but also as a window into a flourishing era of art and culture in the Netherlands.
